Summer Holidays are on the way

Oh my word! I’ve just realised Miss L breaks up from school Friday next. So I need some ideas of how to fill the following 8 weeks. So far I’ve come up with:

Decoupaching a chair like this (as spotted at our local Picture House cinema)

Swimming
Learning Horse Riding
Trips to the North Norfolk Beaches
Rummaging in the local charity shops for project ideas.
Painting landscapes
Going to see Joss Wheldon’s ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ – yeah that one is for me!!
Despicable Me 2
Maybe a trip to London to see a Gallery or Museum – depending on train fair deals.
Would love to go back to Kentwell Hall and see the Tudors again.

What have you all go planned for the holidays? Have you got any great ideas for us to do? We would love to hear your plans!

Yeah the 5th July is early also it’s a bit odd when there aren’t any other kids about. Poor L thinks that people will think she’s bunking off school. She makes me carry the school diary around as proof.

I now so want one of those chairs! Did you know that there is a deal whereby a season train ticket holder pays something like a pound and you (and I think another person, possibly a child) always gets 1/3 off when travelling together? We were given the leaflet when husband bought his latest season ticket last month. I am guessing your husband has a season ticket too.

I’d say Hampton Court or any of the Historic Royal Palaces, Hampton Court is fantastic. I need to go to Kentwell.

We loved Oxburgh Hall, Wicken Fen, Anglesey Abbey (all great for picnics). Can you tell we have gone all middle aged and bought National Trust membership?

Fish and chips on the beach in Aldeburgh, a walk (and an Adnams) round Southwold, a crab by the sea in either Cromer or Sheringham, buying Samphire along the way.

We haven’t been to Audley End yet because of the price and not being sure how well T will do there but we love Saffron Walden so any excuse to go there is well received. I need to go to Ickworth at some point but I just have too much work all the time at the moment so it will have to be on a weekend

I will! It’ll probably be in August, I’m hoping that we can train into London and then get the boat down from London. I don’t fancy driving all that way. I’ll give you a shout, it’d be so lovely to see you all x

Sounds like a great list, esp the Norfolk beaches. We are hoping to make it to Norfolk for some camping over the summer. We want to try out Bewilderwood – have you been there? It sounds like lots of fun. Love your chairs. xx
